Hello and welcome to my blog. On March 19th I had my teeth clean, and by the way, it is better to have your teeth cleaned before an adjustment. The teeth are extremely sensitive and cleanings in my opinion are not very comfortable. My teeth were scaled in November of 2013, and I went back March 19th to get another cleaning.
My visit went very well, my oral care was perfect.
To say the least my very first adjustment was not as bad as I pictured it. I did decide to take some ibuprofen on my visit because I was terrified of all the horror stories of adjustments. When I arrived the assistant took me back and told me I would be getting power chains today and that I would also be getting smaller rings and no new wire. The actual feeling was a lot of pressure and if I had not taken the ibuprofen I would have been hurting because I felt the tightness and pressure on my teeth. My teeth felt sore for the first two days, I could not bite down on anything for a couple of days either. It has been 5 days later and I felt very minimal pain or soreness, really no pain at all. My bite is off, and that's it.
The orthodontist came in and he examined my teeth and said that to bite down, and my teeth are lined up!! I guess that's what happens, your teeth have to be lined up first then, I guess stabilized and so on. I can see a very little progress From the looks of my progress I am going to love my new smile. Here is a look!
